“Let’s go, let’s go, Jiang Yue. Let’s go up the mountain.” The moment he rushed back to Jiang Yue’s side, Xue Wufu held Jiang Yue’s hand and headed up the mountain.

“Yes.” Jiang Yue obediently let Wufu lead her to the mountain.

Li Hehua and the others saw that Jiang Yue had Xue Wufu with her, so they were not worried about her safety.

The family had planted six acres of Divine Trees. Because it was summer, it was the time when the branches and leaves were lush. Therefore, it was also the right time to make tofu.

However, the tree was a decidual-leaf shrub. It did not have an obvious trunk and could not grow very tall. It was about two meters tall, but it was not more than six meters. It had only been planted for a few months, even if Jiang Yue used a big seedling, it didn’t grow over one meter tall. Next year, it will be much taller and have more branches and leaves.

Jiang Yue was not that tall. Once she walked into the field, she disappeared between the leaves.

She might not be able to pluck the tall leaves even if she stood on her tiptoes, but she could still easily pluck the low leaves.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yue raised her head and said to Wufu, “Wufu, please help me carry the basket lower.”

“Oh, oh.” Xue Wufu understood and hurriedly unloaded the large basket on his back, placing it beside Jiang Yue’s feet. As he put it down, he asked excitedly, “How do I pluck the leaves? Should I just pluck the leaves directly? Do I need to pay attention to anything?”

“Just pluck the leaves like this. You must choose those that are very green and thick.” Jiang Yue taught Wufu how to pluck as she spoke. “I want leaves like these. You can just pluck this kind of leaf directly. We just have to wash it before we go back and we’ll be done.”

“That is so simple!” Xue Wufu felt that this was very easy and immediately helped to pluck the leaves happily. He didn’t dare to run too far away from Jiang Yue, Jiang Yue was not that big. Any random tree would cover her from his sight. If he ran too far away, he wouldn’t be able to see Jiang Yue even if he jumped around. What if he couldn’t find Jiang Yue if he went too far away? He couldn’t lose Jiang Yue from his sight.

There was no need for so many leaves. Seeing that the leaves had covered the bottom of the big basket, Jiang Yue said, “Wufu, there’s no need to pick them all.

“That little?” Xue Wufu looked at the wicker basket.

“Let’s try picking this many first. If we can really make something out of it, we’ll e back next time to get more. If we pluck too many leaves now, they will wither and not stay fresh.”

“That’s true. Alright, alright.” Xue Wufu said happily. He quickly carried the basket on his back. As soon as he was done, he quickly held Jiang Yue’s hand.

“Let’s go, it’s time to go home.”

“Yes.” Jiang Yue naturally followed Wufu home obediently.

When they reached home and entered the courtyard, Xue Wufu let go of Jiang Yue’s hand. He unloaded the basket and walked towards the well. “You wanted to wash these leaves, right? Wait a moment. I’ll get you some water to wash “Yes.” Jiang Yue agreed and went to find a small wooden basin.

She collected two bowls, one empty and the other half filled with plant ash. She got the plant ash from the stove. The ashes that were usually used to light the fire at home were plant ashes.

Plant ash contained active alkali-like substances, similar to bittern, and could be used to make tofu..
